Defend Noel Washington - the time has come.

Back in 2005, John Howard created the Australian Building and Construction Commission (ABCC) to help big construction companies and property developers make more profi ts. Howard has gone, but his bad IR laws linger on. The ABCC can still stand over construction workers
and try to threaten and intimidate them. Now the ABCC is attacking CFMEU Senior Offi cial Noel Washington for choosing silence – a legal right available to any other citizen. In Australia we don’t put union offi cials in jail for doing their job. It’s time for the Federal Government to get
rid of Howard’s ABCC.

Buses leave from Geelong Trades Hall, 127 Myers st at 7.00am sharp
on Tuesday 2nd December 2008.
To attend the Rally in Melbourne at 9.00am VTHC. We will then march to the Magisrtates Court on William St.
(Buses will do a pick up at the Corio truck stop.)
